    Hi guys!

    Stayed in the city on Monday and then got in very late last night!

    Currently it is -13, expecting -18 tonight!! Bloody freezing.

    A weird few days, my dearest friend is fearful about a family members very poor health, for those that do, please pray she is comfortable. My sister has hurt me alot, albeit unknowingly and this is certainly not the time of year to raise it. So feeling very weird about all those spiritual things that lurk in our heads.

    DH is exhausted..........my mood is terrible and I am biting his nose off for breathing wrong...................today I told him that he has done nothing for Xmas..........this afternoon I remember, yes he has - he has worked his !!! of in freezing temperatures and risked life and limb to get deliveries out. This evening I told him he was fabulous and adorable. He laughed and asked me to get him one more pressie, LOL!

    Think I am getting paid tomorrow. Lost DH's bank card today. Locked out internet bank! And you know what, I don't care!

    So I am going to sleep tonight and tomorrow I am going to waken up and remember all the fabby things and people I have in my life (which of course, includes you guys xx)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Hi Red

    Sorry to hear you've been having a miserable couple of days.

    Glad you and DH are at peace with each other, we are all guilty of taking it out on those closest to us.

    I have been stressing at my OH tonight as I have no clothes to wear for dress down day tomorrow, not sure how it's possibly his fault!

    Have a good nights rest x

    Red sorry you seem a bit down and as others say this time of year is very stressful.The weather hasn't helped either bringing it's own stresses on top.Hopefully you'll feel a better after a good nights sleep.

  • Thanks guys!! (as always)

    Chatted to my brother and as he pointed out - now is not the time to raise issues with my sister, so trying very hard to 'leave it'

    Still !!!!!!! freezing and I am fed up driving at 30mph max.

    Took myself to M&S today, bought nothing but had fun trying on SIZE 12's!!!!!!! Some day soon I will be able to breathe in them too :)

    Hope you are all well and full of Xmas cheer!
